Arctic sea ice diminished rapidly in 2004 and 2005
The Arctic Ocean's perennial sea ice, which survives the summer melt season and remains year-round, shrank abruptly by 14 percent between 2004 and 2005, according to a newly published study. view more (2006-09-14)
Satellite spies on doomed Antarctic ice shelf
Satellite images have revealed the collapse of Larsen B ice shelf on the Antarctic Peninsula fulfilling predictions made by British Antarctic Survey (BAS) scientists. The collapse of the 3250 km2 ice shelf is the latest drama in a region of Antarctica that has experienced unprecedented warming over the last 50 years. Earlier this month Ted Scambos... view more...

Greenland's thinning ice sheet could be saved by snow
A study conducted by an expert at the University of Sheffield and officials at NASA has found that while Greenland's ice is certainly thinning, snowfall in some areas is increasing, with levels in south-east Greenland in the past year being three times higher than is usual. This opens debate as to how global warming will affect Greenland's ice... view more... (2004-12-20)
Sea level rise of 1 meter within 100 years
New research indicates that the ocean could rise in the next 100 years to a meter higher than the current sea level - which is three times higher than predictions from the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, IPCC. view more (2009-01-08)
Satellites capture first-ever gravity map of tides under Antarctic ice
Ohio State University scientists have used minute fluctuations in gravity to produce the best map yet of ocean tides that flow beneath two large Antarctic ice shelves. view more (2005-12-05)
CLIMATE CAPERS UNDER EXAMINATION - International Conference near Bremen
A new era in climate research began with the ice-core drilling in Greenland at the beginning of the nineties supplying the proof that the last Ice Age was marked by large fluctuations in temperature. Differences of up to 7°C within just a few years were not uncommon. view more (1999-10-07)
Europa does the wave to generate heat
One of the moons in our solar system that scientists think has the potential to harbor life may have a far more dynamic ocean than previously thought. view more (2008-12-12)
Russia Returns To Arctic On A Drifting Ice-floe
After a long break Russia is getting ready to resume the research in Arctic with the help of floating stations. As Valery Martyshenko (Rosgidromet) has advised InformNauka, an appropriate ice-floe is currently being looked for, and the 32nd station will start the floating in the last decade of April. Vladimir Sokolov, Head of the SP-32 floating... view more... (2003-03-25)
UK Princess sees oldest ice on earth
Princess Anne, currently visiting Antarctica, was today given a gift of ice that is 50000 years old. It came from an ice core - a cylinder of ice drilled from the Antarctic ice sheet - drilled by the European Project for Ice Coring in Antarctica (EPICA). EPICA, a consortium of 10 European nations, is drilling two ice cores in Antarctica, in order... view more... (2002-02-08)
Arctic sea ice minimum shatters all-time record low, report University of Colorado scientists
Scientists from the University of Colorado at Boulder's National Snow and Ice Data Center said today that the extent of Arctic sea ice appears to have reached its minimum for 2007 on Sept. 16, shattering all previous lows since satellite record-keeping began nearly 30 years ago. view more (2007-09-21)
West Antarctica's subglacial plumbing system mapped from space
A network of rapidly filling and emptying lakes lies beneath at least two of West Antarctica's ice streams, new research suggests. view more (2007-02-16)
Global warming could lead to a greener Greenland (embargoed until 18.00 BST)
Research published in Nature suggests that enough greenhouse gases could be in the atmosphere as early as 2050 to melt the massive ice-sheet that covers Greenland. As a result, sea levels could rise by around seven metres over the next 1,000 years. Along with colleagues in Belgium and Germany, Dr Jonathan Gregory, of the Centre for Global... view more...

Antarctic seabirds and climate change
Recent changes in Antarctic seabird populations may be linked to environmental change according to scientists reporting in the journal Science this week. Researchers from the Cambridge-based British Antarctic Survey (BAS) reviewed the best available data from a range of long-term studies to test the view that warming of the Earth`s climate is... view more...

Warming oceans threaten Antarctic glaciers
Scientists have identified four Antarctic glaciers that pose a threat to future sea levels using satellite observations, according to a study published in the journal Science. view more (2007-03-16)
Researchers say Arctic sea ice still at risk despite cold winter
Using the latest satellite observations, NASA researchers and others report that the Arctic is still on "thin ice" when it comes to the condition of sea ice cover in the region. A colder-than-average winter in some regions of the Arctic this year has yielded an increase in the area of new sea ice, while the older sea ice that lasts for... view more... (2008-03-19)
Robot submarine reveals secret stash of key Antarctic food source under sea ice
A robot submarine expedition under the Antarctic sea ice has discovered a major food reserve in the Southern Ocean. The findings, reported this week in SCIENCE, show a dense band of the shrimp-like krill under the ice, five times more concentrated than in open water. The importance of sea ice as a nursery for krill - key food for penguins, whales... view more... (2002-03-05)
Global warming may not have ended Ice-Age, says research
Scientists at the University of Sheffield have used fossilised leaves to determine the effect of greenhouse gases on the end of the Ice Age 300m years ago, according to an article published in PNAS. The study, led by Professor David Beerling, examined fossilised leaves to determine how much carbon dioxide was in the air at various periods during... view more... (2002-09-12)
Strengthening case for life on Mars - CMD19CMMP with The Physics Congress 2002
When it was announced last month that the Mars Odyssey satellite had found water ice beneath the planet`s frozen carbon dioxide south polar ice cap, "I felt excited!" says Dr Lidija Siller, a physicist from the University of Newcastle. "I believe that the data I have explains how this water became trapped underneath the surface". Dr Siller will be... view more... (2002-03-26)
Scientists Detect Melting of Antarctic Ice Shelf
A giant ice shelf the size of Scotland is melting rapidly in warm Antarctic waters, a report in SCIENCE will reveal today. Thinning of the Larsen Ice Shelf - vast sections of which collapsed catastrophically during the 1990's - was discovered by scientists at the University of Cambridge, University College London, University of Bristol and the... view more...

Forecasting where and when the rain will fall
Leeds researchers are aiming to unlock the secrets of the British weather, bringing forecasters one step closer to that elusive holy grail: the ability to predict exactly where, when and how much rain is going to fall. Dr Alan Blyth from the school of the environment explains: "There's still a lot we don't know about exactly how rain is... view more... (2003-11-24)
